Steve Jobs has Passed Away!? (UPDATED)

[SenseOfTumour]

As much as I hate Apple, I can't deny Job's role in the development of computers.

RIP Steve.

Oh, and WBC, you can fuck right off.

Indeed, whatever people think, he's moved tech on a hell of a way while he lived.

As for the WBC, they released their statement, which I won't repeat, 'on twitter via iphone'.

so they're using iphones to condemn the iphone guy. Way to be consistent, dumbasses.

It nearly amuses me that those trolls are so desperate for attention, which is why I'm not linking or repeating their nonsense, just their stupidity.

Well that sucks. By no means an Apple user but that's sad to hear.
Apparently some friends of an acquaintance were laughing at this. And they're Apple users

No matter how you feel about apple, the man pioneered the home computer, graphical user interface, and basically monopolized the MP3 Player, Music and Tablet markets. I salute you Mr. Jobs. Rest in Peace.

and basically monopolized the MP3 Player, Music and Tablet markets

Music

Steve Jobs monopolised the music industry? Since when?

 

[Knife-28]

Well, he's Steve Jobless now.....

 

[Zenn3k]

Man, no Jobs can survive this economy.

You bastard. You actually made me drop my smoke. Now my flat is on fire. I hope you are happy with yourself!

I hope that site changes that line of text to


OT: It's sad to see an industry leader die so young. I have to wonder how long Apple is going to stay on top without him. Even if he wasn't making all the business choices, he was their mascot.

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

I personally don't know what to say. I can't say I was much of an Apple connoisseur, nor did I think a lot about him, so to hear that Jobs died is... kinda shocking to me. I knew for quite some time that he was suffering from a type of disease, but to hear that he died so early.

I'm just speechless. I can only give my condolences to his friends and family, and my humblest respect to the man that had done so much.

RIP: Steve Jobs.

See you starside.



... Also, seriously? The Westboro Baptist Church said WHAT? I've hated those fucking assholes for quite some time, but this seems like a new level of...

I don't know. There is a circle of hell reserved for these guys; you DO NOT say that kind of stuff about a guy as revolutionary as this man, even if you never really cared for him, and ESPECIALLY NOT WHEN HE JUST DIED.

A human being died.

That is always tragic.

Not REALLY, is it?

Jobs aside, surely we can agree that some deaths are either necessary or funny as hell?

Now you're speaking my language! I can agree that not all deaths are tragic.
Some would say that Hitler's death was Heilarious

I'd say it was siegnificantly more funny than that!

A LOLocaust if you will

And you can bet that Eva did nazi that coming...

Hahahahaha Oh sir you are Reichdiculous!!

I'm glad that God doesn't exist, because if he did, we'd both be going to heil.

Hahahaha no doubt. While I do believe in a God, I can honestly say he is FUHRERious with me XD

 

[hiks89]

Yeah, many other people passed away too. Just because he is famous doesn't mean I should care for him more than anyone else.

wow you must be realy cool or something to not care about a genius passing away

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart" -Steve Jobs

We'll miss you Steve, but we will never forget you

 

[oppp7]

I plan on wearing a black turtleneck tomorrow in honor of him.

No,not really.

Yeah, Kinda really. After all humor is subjective amirite? So by that logic somewhere someone will find death funny.
In short.
DON'T APPLY YOUR LOGIC TO EVERYONE ELSES

"DON'T APPLY YOUR LOGIC TO EVERYONE ELSES"

Exactly.

Hypocritical of me to say yes, but it proved my point. Not everyone shares remorse in the same fashion as you and therefore some people find death funny.
Not an opinion. Its a fact, because I find some of those jokes about death hilarious and nothing anyone says will change me

It appears that my attempt at humor did not connect with you.

"No,not really"

But as you just said, humor is subjectiv, and everyone thinks about it differently.

Hmm...I have to say, all these puns are still well within Mein Kampfort zone.

Anne Frankly, I think we still have a way to go before we're Goering to run out.

Knowing the usual response in these forums when something even remotely with APPLE comes up, I am actually a bit surpirsed to see so much sympathy here - or at least acknowledgement.

Steve and Apple were not perfect by any means, but without his visions and the resulting products, a lot of other products by competitors would not even exist.
His impact on technology development just cannot be emphasized enough.

I thank him for getting the struggling with hardware and software out of the way of my creativity and working schedule.


you will be missed, Steve.

Nah, there's loads more people that died today that I don't give a fuck about.

They just don't have their own thread here.

Wait....SHIT!!! Now I feel stupid knowing now it was an attempt at humor DX

Sorry dude

Yes...yes it was. And now all my stuff is on fire. The keyboard is melting. Worth it, though.
